Trust planning in comfort of your own home.  Covering Yorkshire & Lancashire.

What is a Trust?

 

Looking to set up a trust fund? A trust fund is a formal arrangement in which a trusted individual/s or a trust corporation holds and manages the assets on behalf of other particular individuals or they are used as a useful tax planning tool. The assets are put into trust for a beneficiary’s life, or until they reach a certain age.

Different kinds of assets can be put in trust, including:

 

• cash
• property
• shares
• land

 

Trusts can be set up at any time or written into your will.

 

 

Trusts are set up for a number of reasons, including:

 

• to control and protect family assets, including the family home from care fees
• to save on probate fees and inheritance tax
• when a beneficiary is too young to handle their affairs
• when someone cannot handle their affairs because they’re incapacitated
• to pass on assets while a settlor is still alive
• to pass on assets when a settlor dies (a ‘will trust’)
• under the rules of intestacy if someone dies without a will (in England and Wales)
